Participants with clinical trials through Omnicom can now use their personal health record information to locate and store information. The company is using the CCR standard to transfer information. Omnicom provides software solutions for the healthcare industry in managing data with aggregation in useable formats.
It’s a changing world in clinical trials and device connectivity appears to be breaking through here too. I have posted about T-shirts and the likes that are being developed to electronically collect and submit data via blue tooth as an example. Check this post from a few months back to see what I am talking about.

If you have read up on HealthVault of late, then you know about the device focus to allow consumers to easily collect their health data with no manual keyboard input. Using PHR information to find trials that one qualifies for is efficient and saves a lot of research time and potentially chasing information on trials where one may not meet the criteria. BD
Press Release:

company's TrialMaster EDC product has connected to Microsoft HealthVault.
